Random text generator

This random text creator makes English text that reads like real sentences. Choose how many paragraphs, sentences or words you need, then copy the text.

How the random text is made

The generator builds each sentence from a few simple patterns, such as "the old painter visited a quiet village after the rain". It fills each pattern with words picked at random from short lists of nouns, adjectives, verbs and places. Each press of Generate creates new random text. The sentences are correct English but they don't tell a story, so nobody mistakes them for final copy.

Everything runs in your browser. The text is not sent anywhere, and there is no limit on how often you use it.

Random English text or lorem ipsum?

• Random English text has real words, normal word lengths and English letter patterns. Use it to check how a font, a line length or a text box looks with English, or to test spell check, search and word counts.
• Lorem ipsum is scrambled Latin. Readers don't try to read it, so it keeps attention on the layout. Use it when the words should not distract.
• Themed lorem ipsum writes filler text about a topic you choose, such as coffee or space.
